Yuchi Ziling was stunned for a moment. Jiang Hai's words were completely new to her. They seemed to make sense, yet they conflicted with her previous understanding.
She had been taught the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since she was little, and during this time she had also been deliberately learning needlework. Her mind was a bit confused now.
"Don't you mind me wielding swords and guns?" Yuchi Ziling said weakly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost created, Jiang Hai raised his head again and looked up at the sky at a 60-degree angle.
"I like my wife as she really is, not as the world thinks she should be.
What does that have to do with me? My wife is mine."
To be honest, his posture looks a bit silly and a bit eye-catching.
But at this moment, Yuchi Ziling was extremely shocked and moved.
Generally speaking, women of this era would take care of their husbands and children after getting married. They would lose their freedom and their lives would basically be confined to the house. Few of them could continue to do the things they loved as girls.
And what Jiang Hai said was obviously not asking her to make too many changes, just to do what she likes. What kind of love can be achieved? Just ask Darong nowadays, there are not many men who can have such tolerance.
Yuchi Ziling's eyes flushed slightly as she stepped forward and blocked Jiang Hai's lips from above.
Young Master Jiang's eyes widened. This enthusiasm was beyond his expectations, and he was almost pushed into the water. Fortunately, he grabbed the edge of the tub with both hands.
Through the wet gauze, Jiang Hai could truly feel the surging emotions in his wife's heart.
After a moment of tenderness, Yuchi Ziling retreated a little and looked at Jiang Haidao with tenderness in her eyes.
"Thank you……"
Jiang Hai smiled and said, "I accept."
After saying that, he pulled her back...
On the way home at dusk, two mandarin ducks play in the water. On a beautiful night with red candles, a newlywed couple lingers in love.
…
As the night deepened, in a side room of the Jiang Mansion, a maid tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"The young master said I can't go in without being called, but," Cai'er hugged her pillow and faintly heard the movement next door, "What's wrong with the young lady? Did she fight with the young master? And it seems like she lost."
She was extremely confused and turned over the other side, "That's not right, the young master doesn't seem to have learned any martial arts, it's impossible for him to beat the young lady."
She tried to convince herself that she was right, that her young lady would never suffer any loss. After convincing herself, Cai'er turned back to her original position and tried to fall asleep. But then she heard another groan that startled her.
Cai'er was so scared that she sat up, hugged the pillow, and blinked her eyes non-stop. She didn't know what to do. Should she go over and take a look?
Fortunately, the room next door was quiet again. Cai'er, still a little frightened, slowly lay down and continued to close her eyes, her heart still pounding.
At this time, in the new house next door, the newlyweds were covered with a thin quilt and were still breathing slightly.
The ice basins in the room were more than half melted, and the red candles had long since burned out.
Moonlight shone through the windowsill, a faint white ray. Jiang Hai rested his head on his arm and spoke elegantly:
"My dear, there is a line of poetry that perfectly describes my feelings at this moment."
"Oh, tell me about it." Yuchi Ziling leaned on his chest and rubbed it with her eyes narrowed.
"The spring breeze is blowing, and the horses are galloping. I can see all the flowers in Rong'an in one day."
"Well, good poem." Although Yuchi Ziling didn't quite understand these, this sentence was easy to understand, so she gave him a thumbs up.
Then, Jiang Hai's strange laughter was heard.
"What's wrong with you again?" Yuchi Ziling asked doubtfully. She stopped pretending to be a lady and resumed her old way of speaking.
Jiang Hai explained to her the meaning of one of the words with a wicked grin.
"So, now you understand why I laughed so hard that day in Nanzhou City?"
"..." Yuchi Ziling's brain short-circuited for a moment, then it connected again. Thinking about the folding fan covering her face today, she suddenly felt very socially depressed.
Filled with shame and anger, she pinched Jiang Hai's waist and twisted it.
"Ouch. No, no, no. I told you that you will know it in the future. I didn't lie to you." Jiang Hai begged for mercy while spitting out vicious words.
"Still poor, still poor." Yuchi Ziling pretended to be angry to cover up her shame and pinched him again.
After some laughter and joking, a pile of dry firewood in the new house of the Jiang family was ignited by fire again.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, Cai'er came out of the ear room with dark circles under her eyes and went to the kitchen to see what food to prepare for her master in the morning.
In the new house, the young couple still slept in bed. They were a little tired after a bit of work last night. However, they couldn't stay in bed for too long. They still had to go and offer tea and change their mouths to receive gifts.
"The red candles were lit in the bridal chamber last night, waiting to pay respects to my uncle and aunt in the hall in the morning." Jiang Hai muttered to himself as he stood up with difficulty.
He pushed the bride who was still sleeping soundly.
Yuchi Ziling rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze,
"Is it daybreak?"
"Well, get up. You still have to go pay your respects to your parents. You can sleep when you want to when you come back." Jiang Hai stroked her hair and said lovingly.
"Okay." Yuchi Ziling nodded and stood up.
The couple got up and dressed. Jiang Hai looked down at his waist.
"Ma'am, let's discuss something."
"What's up?"
"Here, please don't pinch me anymore, it hurts. If you really can't stand it, I'll teach you how to vent it." Jiang Hai pointed at the flesh that had turned purple from being pinched.
"Oh, then teach me. What should I do?" Yuchi Ziling asked him while getting dressed.
"Don't do it, kiss me!" Jiang Hai said with a serious expression.
"..." Yuchi Ziling was speechless by his tricks and said, "I'm a little angry now, what should I do?"
"Don't do it, kiss me!" Jiang Hai put on his clothes, raised an eyebrow and continued to tease. With his hands on his hips, he was ready to prevent being pinched.
Unexpectedly, Yuchi Ziling dressed up, approached and kissed him.
"How is it, are you satisfied, my dear?"
Jiang Hai was indeed very satisfied with this unexpected harvest. He rubbed his lips with his fingers, savoring it carefully.
"Very satisfied, my lady, you are truly outstanding. You grasp everything instantly. No wonder you are so good at martial arts."
"Martial arts are no match for civil governance. Let's go. Etiquette must be upheld. Go and pay your respects to your parents." Yuchi Ziling pulled him out the door.
The couple headed towards the main house.
Cai'er went to the kitchen and discovered a problem. The Jiang Mansion was different. On weekdays, there was no need to bring food for the master. Everyone could go to the dining hall to eat at mealtime.
She went back to wake up Jiang Hai and his wife. But when she got to the bridal chamber, she found that both of them were gone. She thought they must have gone to pay their respects.
Cai'er was still feeling itchy and wanted to ask the young lady what happened last night. But there was nothing she could do. She could only wait for the young lady to come back.
Cai'er muttered to herself and began to clean up the new house.
At this time, two or three pigeons were flying high in the sky above the capital city towards the southern border.
